International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Program

The International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Program is a collaborative scientific effort involving multiple countries to study how the Sun influences Earth's space environment. It aims to understand phenomena like solar storms, magnetic fields, and space weather that can impact satellites, communications, and power systems. By sharing data from various spacecraft and ground-based observations, scientists gain insights into the Sun-Earth connection, helping improve forecasting and mitigate potential disruptions caused by solar activity. The program enhances international cooperation in space research, advancing our knowledge of the dynamic space environment surrounding Earth.
